I have been following this for a couple of years; https://goo.gl/maps/v5n6EJ6MBwXpLN679 It is a list of places to walk, I would suggest reading the reviews and check out the terrain setting in the maps. Everyone else pretty much listed all of these places, but it is all in one link that you can follow if you have a Google Account.
I prefer going to Pony Pasture and walking around Half Moon Beach, quiet area, lots of trees, until the summer when it is warmer, then the road to the west of it along the river is always a beautiful walk with trees every now and then, I used to love it for photography.

Because that’s the industry standard? Servers make around $2 an hour so the expectation is that patrons tip. I wish that wasn’t the case and that business owners pay a reasonable wage, but that’s not what’s going on. People handling to go orders could be on that end of the spectrum or they could be earning upwards of $15 an hour. As a customer, there’s no way to know without asking — my only point was to bring to light the concept that someone isn’t necessarily just handing you your food and expecting a tip. Tipping culture has gotten way out of hand for sure, but it’s not always black and white.

I do not, but if you really want to surprise someone, R. L. Stine will be speaking at the Dominion Energy Center (a.k.a Richmond CenterStage) next Monday, the 23rd as part of the Poe Museum Centennial Celebration. If you play your cards right, you might be able to get him to sign some copies if they have any sort of meet-and-greet...
